Brake booster clearance

I have a 6.0 in a 68. I'm going to get a new brake booster/master combo. Is there enough clearance between the coil and brake booster with an 11" booster?
I see there is a single diaphragm 9 inch booster available now for LS swaps. Should I use a smaller booster?
Can you post pictures of clearance?
thanks

Re: Brake booster clearance

I'm not interested in hydroboost.
A vacuum booster is good enough for me.

Re: Brake booster clearance

I had the same problem but not in a truck . I got the dual 8" booster and seems to work just fine . I would think they make one for your truck as well .

Re: Brake booster clearance

Here is a pic of mine with a stock replacement booster. I dont have coils on my heads but they should fit ok.

Re: Brake booster clearance

I am sure you will have enough room with a stock booster in the stock location
This is on the next series chevy truck and all stock brake system

Re: Brake booster clearance

There is not enough room for the full 6000 vortec cover to clear the big booster on my 1968 suburban
